Where's your sense of adventure?

Lol.

Sense of adventure? It's already proven that the only devices that can read our car's data from the OBD2 port is either the HKS OB-Link or the Greddy Informeter, neither of which has a video output...

That's why I said its not that easy. If it was I'd have my Rasperry Pi already to rock in the car. The HKS OB Link is feasible if someone can port their Android software to Debian...

Can't Raspberry Pi run Android?

One of the guys at work has one and I'm sure he said it could.

Yes it could, but why would I bother when I can get a $130 7" Android Tablet that's 4 times more powerful then a RasPi and already has GPS, BT, Touch input display, storage, etc?

I think if you want to utilise the existing pop up display, a RasPi Carputer would be good, if you want a intergrated look and more flexibility. Other wise a cheap Android Tablet can do it all for cheaper and safer too...

Then I'm confused why you want their software ported to Debian?

Because Leon suggested a Carputer and a OBD2 connector/cable would work in our car...

IF the HKS Android software was ported to Deb then yes Carputer would work (that's if you want to display all the ECU data). Even then you'll need some sort of touch screen hooked up...

If not then a cheap tab would work just as well, if not better.

You mean like this one?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Infinity-G35-2003-2004-CD-Stereo-Fascia-CT24NS09-/270718155547?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f080f3b1b#ht_2274wt_1393

There are a few options available, I have one here on an RS wreck too. What colour are you after though?

Did a language conversion for someone that had one of these. Buttons look abit out of place but worked perfectly and they were very pleased

Ahh.... we're talking about 2 different things by the looks of it. You appear to want a solution that does everything, including a touch screen overlay to change stuff as you go, correct? Which would be very nice, btw.

I was only talking about displaying a handful of gauges on the screen (as well as having a multimedia player). The UpRev Cipher cable will do that, but there may be cheaper ones around that can read enough of the OBD data to give you something to play with.

Alrdy purchased 1 of those oem items listed in the above post, Actuallt found it cheaper than the other kits out there thru stereo mobs.

I did purchase the metro kit but opened it up & the buttons looked so tacky, so sent it straight back. Got my money back than bam purchased that 1

Not a bad price for what it is, especially compared to CAMP2.

Only problem is you need an Android powered head unit.

Or any tablet with a browser (mainly linked to it for ironpaw). But using a dual DIN head unit to display gauges would be very cool :cool:

      Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP.

      No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently.

      I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
